To me a second chance is like a breath of fresh air. Given a chance in an unforgiving society is like giving life to a kid that hasn’t been granted foresight. Being gone 27 years hasn’t made me bitter but has helped me realize that I can’t make up for lost time but make the best use of the time I’m granted again. C. Blount
A second chance means to me “not to sound like a cliche” almost everything to me. Being that I was still a kid when I first became incarcerated (just turned 19) it will mean the chance to experience life as an adult with adult thoughts and responsibilities. It means that I will have a chance to show that I have a lot to contribute to society. It also feels like being there for my daughter and grandson will be one of the best feelings in the world. L.
